Reducing the surface friction of PET gains process efficiency and prevents damage to containers

The simple answer is yes – specialty polymers can protect sensitive ADAS electronics – but with greater design freedom and less weight than aluminum. Yes, specialty polymer formulations are a proven path to lighter weight and easier processing versus aluminum. Weight, weight, weight – Engineered polymers can be formulated to provide excellent thermal management, static dissipation and EMI/RFI shielding performance for your ADAS housing at a lighter weight than aluminum. 

We immediately recognize actuarial gains and losses in our operating results in the year in which the gains or losses occur. Gains and losses on these contracts generally offset gains and losses on the assets and liabilities being hedged.

Reduces Part Weight Reduces part weight Predict foamed part behavior and maximum weight reduction

Heavy or high-production volume plastic parts Chemical foaming agents produce a cellular structure that helps reduce the weight and plastic material consumption for a more sustainable profile

The sustainability concept of circularity has gained prominence, presenting both challenges and exciting opportunities for the composites industry.

Increase mechanical strength with titanate reinforced formulations while gaining chemical inertness and excellent cryogenic impact resistance.

Overall, transitioning to bio-derived solutions provides companies with a comprehensive strategy to meet regulatory demands, gain a competitive edge, foster economic growth, and achieve CSR objectives, all while contributing positively to environmental stewardship.

How to avoid it: Take a serious look at what special effects are available and consider how they might be used to help OEM customers gain market share.
